Brown Reunion: Providence Eatfest, Part 1featured
Spoiler: Andreas, Antonio’s, and sweet baby Jesus…East Side Pockets!
My apologies everyone, I know the posts were a bit slow coming this past week…it’s because I’m still digesting from my trip back to lovely Bruno, my sweet alma mater, Brown University. It was a wonderful trip down memory lane, celebrating our 5-year reunion on campus, reminiscing about the days we walked the main green, partied young and invincible, and of course…ate our way down Thayer Street.

Banana Boatsfeatured
Ahhh, do you smell that? Green grass, fresh air, smoky charcoal puffing gently into the air. The season of BBQs is officially upon us.
At your next open grill fest, whip up these Banana Boats and polish off your barbecue on a sweet note.
This no-fuss dessert is pure genius, and is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. I owe this party trick recipe to Bartender Bill from Orson, who taught me how to make this ooey gooey and absurdly easy treat. Amazing what a gal can learn at the bar.

One evening I caught a segment of Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives where spiky haired, double earringed Guy Fieri (roll the “r” please) was checking out a “money” classic burgers and shakes drive-in just north of Napa in St. Helena. Just as I was about switch back to the Top Model marathon (don’t judge) something caught my eye. Ahi tuna burger, just kissed from the grill, still pink and perfect inside. This was no ordinary roadside burger joint. OK, Guy, you have my attention.
